Hi I am currently applying this cycle to law school and was hoping for some advice from any current PD’s. Ever since I became interested in a career in law I knew from the start I wanted to public defender and started learning as much about what the PD job looks like. I’ve worked for a criminal defense firm before as a legal assistant so I got some insight into the private side but I wanted to know the life of a PD. How true is the idea that PD’s get thrown into the deep end with many cases? How true is it that PD’s burn out quickly? What does the day to day work life look like for PD’s? Finally I want to move to NYC and work as PD how unrealistic is that on a PD’s salary? I really respect the job of a PD and want to learn as much as I can before I get closer to making this dream a reality thanks for any insight!

Hey I’m applying this cycle to CUNY law and was hoping to get some info on the application process and the general culture of CUNY would love to dm a current CUNY law student!

I am moving to New York next year and my budget is about 2,000 to 3,000 a month for rent alone not looking for any specific apartment recs just want to know if that range is realistic for a studio for myself alone and my cat because on Zillow and street easy it says there are some places but how reliable is that from people who have actually gone through the apartment hunting process and is Manhattan or close to Manhattan like Brooklyn/Queens out of the picture thanks for any recs I’m really new to a lot of this :)
